That's like telling someone to read a review about Thomas Aquinas from the Vatican. Some of his works would be judged highly by Vatican. But his lifestyle would not (he was lucky he got the status of a saint back in XIVth century). After all, he was an obese guy who used his philosophical mind to his advantage, like stating "everything that swims in water is a fish" so he could eat duck on friday (and you really don't want to know what kinds of atrocities another of the saints, Augustine of Hippo commited in his life). His writings are quite good though but I wasn't interested much in christian works, XIXth century irrationalism is more of my thing. | ||

I mean, even though Aquinas said and did some pretty stupid things, they're largely ignored in the face of his theology and he's still considered by many Christians to be one of the most important theologians of their religion. | ||
